Quality Management relates to the wholistic quality management framework that has been established & implemented at your working place, to ensure process performance, quality of products & services, & continual improvement. Read our article about quality management for more.

QC is retrospective; a final check or lagging indicator of performance. QC can be defined as the part of quality management focused on fulfilling quality requirements. QC is the operational techniques & activities used to fulfill requirements for quality. QC doesn't take into account the whole quality management system framework. QC is more the inspection aspect of quality management. QC makes sure the results of what you've done are exactly what you expected. QC ensures that the standards are followed while working on the product or the service. Our experts have more to explain. feel free to contact them if interested to know more.

QA can be defined as the part of quality management focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled. QA is all planned & systematic activities implemented within the quality system, that can be demonstrated to provide confidence, that a product or service will fulfill requirements for quality. Confidence provided by QA is directed to top management, customers, government agencies, regulators, & certifiers. QA relates more to how a process is performed, or how a product is made. QA makes sure you are doing the right things. QA Defines standards & methodologies to be followed in order to meet customer requirements.

ISO 9001 is the world's most used standard for Quality Management Systems (QMS). Used in over 178 countries, ISO 9001 gives organizations a set of management guidelines that help ensure consistently high-quality products & services. ISO 9001 does not outline exactly how a business should be managed. Instead, it offers a flexible system that companies can implement to improve quality control.

The Quality Management System presented in ISO 9001 can help a business produce products or deliver services of reliably high quality, improve customer satisfaction, boost operational efficiency, manage risks, & more. Like other types of ISO certifications, ISO 9001 certification shows your company's stakeholders that you care about quality & effective management. With ISO 9001 certification, you may even be able to get more business, since many international companies will only work with ISO-certified partners.

ISO 9001 is not a legal requirement. Companies can choose whether or not to be certified to ISO 9001 or not. That said, Government & Private Request for Tenders (RFTs) often include criteria related to Quality, Safety, & Environmental Certifications. Depending on whether you have a Quality Management System, may mean the difference between winning the tender, or losing the tender to a competitor.

To get ISO 9001 Certified you need to complete 3 simple steps as follows: Step 1 Development – build the QMS documentation to meet ISO 9001 requirements. Step 2 Implementation – Implement the Requirements of the QMS as documented. Step 3 Internal Audit – Complete an internal audit & management review meeting. Once that has been completed, you can engage an accredited Certification Body to conduct your certification audit. See Our Article about the steps of ISO Certification for more information.

An Internal Audit (= first-party audit) is an assessment of whether the management system meets requirements of the applicable standards AND is effectively implemented & maintained.

A Gap Analysis Audit is similar to an internal audit; however, it is usually undertaken in the early stages of management system preparation, prior to certification. It is an assessment of whether the management system meets requirements of the applicable standards AND is effectively implemented & maintained, & provides a Gap Audit Report which includes deficiencies identified, & associated improvement suggestions. We at 4Z for Quality, perform most reliable & cost-effective GAP Analysis for our valuable customer. Call us Today to ask for advice.

ISO Certification cost depends on a range of factors.
